just for clarification:
disliking parts of the way rapunzel’s character was handled in the show =/= disliking her.
movie!rapunzel means a lot to me personally, and i absolutely adore some aspects of her character in the show. i think she’s loving, creative, funny, intelligent, and she tries her best to help the people around her.
if i have a critique with her in the show, it’s because i believe that isn’t how she’d behave as someone who went through the events of the movie. or maybe i look at how she acts for one episode of the show, compare it to the foundation they’ve established in an earlier episode, and find that they contrast one another. my criticisms are for the inconsistent or out-of-character writing, not for rapunzel herself. i understand she has flaws; i just wish they were addressed properly and that she didn’t always have to be in the right.
you’re welcome to reblog this if you feel the same way.
disliking parts of the way rapunzel’s character was handled in the show =/= disliking rapunzel.
I mean sure
PLEASE tell me you have a british or southern accent 💔
A bit of a French accent but I hide it CAUSE ALL THESE MOTHEFUCKERS MAKE FUN OF ME FOR IT!!!!
Young Hugo with a group of other orphans on their way to steal from Donella. They succeed, somehow, and Hugo has the treasure/whatever thing they stole. But Donella's soldiers are chasing them. Not everyone is gonna make it out. One of the kids asks Hugo for the treasure thing, and Hugo throws it. The kids are now within reach of the soldiers. Hugo is about to catch up to the other orphans when one of the kids kicks the wall hard and a ton of heavy supplies and machinery fall on Hugo. That, is how Hugo lost his leg (in my fic anyways)
Also Olivia gets a little dented here but she gets saved by one of the soldiers or Donella herself, and then Hugo reunites with her after he wakes up
Donella also makes Hugo's mechanical leg and teaches him how to make it stronger (though he really uses this knowledge on Liv, despite how much Donella makes it clear she thinks the mouse is useless)
TELL ME EVERY TTS/VAT7K HEADCANON YOU HAVE
PLEASE NO I HAVE A FAMILY
why did i subject myself to this. i’m still gonna do it, though. (these aren’t fully dedicated to any one character, so y’all can still ask about them! just thinking of the overall shows)
-varian got down on one knee to propose to hugo. hugo laughed and said “ha, you’re even shorter now.” there was a moment of absolute silence before hugo realized what was going on. varian started to stand up. hugo frantically begged him to wait and start over.
-cassandra and eugene occasionally called off their rivalry for cass to teach eugene to play chess. cass had realized he didn’t know how (orphan, poor, thief) and said that a future king obviously had to learn. cue surprisingly cute, very gruff training.
-varian is terrified of maximus. maximus can smell the criminal on him. varian has had to hide in a tree from that horse several times.
-there was a point in hugo’s life, after vat7k, where it finally dawned on him that he was safe and happy. varian held him as he cried with too many emotions he couldn’t describe.
-hugo absolutely despises frederic and arianna. he performs elaborate, heist-like pranks on them for varian’s sake. they don’t know it’s him. they’re losing their minds.
-for a long time after his redemption, varian didn’t see anything wrong in his relationship with andrew. he just thought “well, he’s standing in for my dad.” and then he did consciously realize “he’s evil”, but he didn’t actually unpack everything that went on. i don’t think andrew did anything to him, but i think he was extremely creepy, and there’s still something so horrible about a man in a confined space with a boy who was 13 only a year ago.
-upon the separatists of saporia breaking out, andrew made sure to keep varian busy in the castle so he didn’t realize that the citizens of corona were enslaved.
-varian’s truth cookies made pete and stan confess their love.
-nuru is afraid of ruddiger at first (not a lot of wildlife in a meteor-ravaged kingdom). she finally gets over that fear just in time for varian to have to turn ruddiger into beast-ruddiger for some reason. nuru is even more emotionally scarred.
-“plus est en vous” goes differently in my mind. in my ideal reality. in my headcanon. i don’t know exactly what happened, but i do know varian, lance, and eugene play MUCH bigger roles.
-hugo is an emotional drunk. varian is a stupid drunk (while inebriated, he once invented a ship, which had already been invented at the time. ((by “ship”, i mean boat.))) rapunzel is also an emotional drunk. cass is the death-wish kind of drunk that would deliberately try to get run over by a carriage. eugene can keep an objective in mind when he drinks, like getting information out of somebody, but he will also get distracted by a really pretty swirl of wood on the table. lance is a philosophical drunk.
-the whole team, from both shows, hums their big songs to themselves when they’re bored. those things may spring out of their innermost psyches and display themselves in fits of passion, but damn if they aren’t catchy.
-angry once won an arm-wrestling match against lance. no one knows how it happened. lance swears she hypnotized him.
-eugene lets rapunzel paint on him, and she comes to him for fashion advice.
THAT’S ALL I CAN THINK OF RIGHT NOW AND THEY AREN’T EVEN CHARACTER-SPECIFIC SO OH BOY I GUESS I HAVE MORE
Varigo Headcanon!
One of the original posts about Hugo said that his glasses had runes that could let him see enchanted objects. I thought I'd take this, but instead of his glasses, it was his goggles, which gave him an excuse to wear them more often.
How is this Varigo? Well, what if when Varian and Hugo are working together on something, Hugo sees a little glow of blue around Varian, mainly his hair and eyes. He asks about it and Varian explains his slight connection to the moonstone (another thing I headcanon). Much later, after Hugo starts coming to terms with his feelings for Varian, he starts to call him "Moonlight" as a nickname
I don't know how to explain things but like we all need wholesome Varigo in our lives I think
THIS
Genuinely so tired of people wanting vat7k to be real
Just enjoy fan to fan media dude
Nothing good will come from Disney in this time line
I have a theory that during Vat7k, Varian didn't go by his real name for a while, but rather Vee or Var. Mostly because if he were to use his real name, he would've been detained (y'know, from the whole coup d'etat and terrorism). I think that Nuru, Hugo, and Yong would've known his real name, but just thought he preferred to be called a nickname.
Idk :3
Spellbound's The Way It Was Before feels like a Nuru song during one of the many meteor showers her kingdom has to endure
Hugo, I'll lend you gay water but please stop with the dairy.
so someone has a gay river full of gay water and i have a strong suspicion they're giving Hugo some of it
Why do you Anons like making my child sick? It’s just more of a mess for me to deal with than anything.
I love the dialogue and the art sm!!
in which after the events of the eternal library, after the immediate heat has cooled down, hugo tries damage control OR i said shitty varigo doodles i MEANT shitty varigo doodles
I have no thoughts other than library depression now. I don't even know how a library can be depressed, but it is.
